Jane Elliot Comments On Her Storyline

Written By Elizabeth Codd

It’s been years since Jane Elliot could truly call herself a leading lady, but now she can. With the new writing regime at GH, actors over 45 are being shown that they do matter.

Elizabeth Codd: Good morning Jane, how are you this morning?

Jane Elliot: I’m going great. I actually just got done taping a scene for sweeps.

EC: Oh, anything you can share with us?

JE: Well, it’s going to be an ICU episode featuring the entire Quartermaine Family (including Jason, Luke and Lulu) and Ted King’s character Lorenzo [Alcazar]. There’s going to be a big reveal and a surprising act by a character that’ll set all of this into motion. It’s amazing.

EC: Sounds interesting. So how does it feel to be front and center again?

JE: To be quite honest with you Liz, it’s a great feeling. It’s great to come into work and know that you are appreciated. To know that you are a valued asset to the show.

EC: And you didn’t feel that way before?

JE: Not everyday. Under some of the previous writing regimes, unless your character was a favorite or part of the demographic that the higher ups were trying to reach, you knew that you’re job could be over at any time. I don’t necessarily blame the writers for that, but they are at fault.

EC: How does it feel to be in a front-burner storyline with Tony Geary, Robin Christopher and Ted King?

JE: Unfortunately I don’t get to work with Ted as much as I’d hoped, but Tony and Robin are wonderful. She and I actually have some great scenes coming up. We’re supposed to have a big fight and it’s going to get very messy.

EC: The cleanup must have been tedious.

JE: It was. But it was nice being able to cut loose for a few days.

EC: I hear that the writers are going to have Luke actually fall for Tracy. She’s not going to turn into a sap is she?

JE: No. I went to the writing team and asked them to change Tracy’s character a little bit. We all know that Tracy has a hard exterior, but once you chip away, you’ll find a woman who’s had her heart broken in the past so she puts on a front. I asked them to allow Tracy to soften a bit towards Luke so she can allow herself to love him, but not in a mushy, gushy make me wanna vomit kind of way.

EC: The SONBC Awards are coming up. Do you think you’ll be submitted?

JE: I have no idea. I believe I have some material that will allow me to be nominated, but there were some issues over the summer and we weren’t able to shoot as much as we wanted. I don’t know. I know that if I submit anything from November I’ll be good to go.

EC: Well Jane it’s been great seeing you again. Is there anything you’d like to say to wrap this up?

JE: Yes. Make sure that you continue to watch our show. The writers have a lot of good things in store for the viewers. That’s it Liz.

EC: Once again, thank you.

JE: No problem.
